Ah, I think I see: you want a function that turns the string "foo\bar" into
"foo\\bar". Even if this were a good idea, I don't think it's feasible to do it
in a non-surprising way.
For example, given such a function f, what outputs would you expect for:
(a) f("\012"), and
(b) f("\n")?
(And yes, this is a trick question: "\012" and "\n" are the same string.)
